Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity, as required for an L-1A extension. The director concluded, and the AAO agreed, that the evidence did not sufficiently detail the beneficiary's duties to show they were primarily managerial rather than operational, and did not demonstrate that the U.S. company was sufficiently staffed to relieve the beneficiary of non-qualifying tasks.
